JRR Tolkien was a frequent drinker in the Bell Inn and with Batsford Arboretum and Sezincote House nearby, direct train access to London and its host of bars, shops and pubs to keep you busy in the evening, Moreton-in-Marsh is great place to base yourselves for a Cotswolds cycling break.

I was on a business trip with some extra time at the end. I wanted to arrange a couple of days of self guided cycling with a chance to visit friends in the Cotswolds. Jamie and his crew arranged accommodation, a bike and maps. They proved wonderfully reliable and everything was in place. The bike was immaculate, the routes well chosen, and I had two days of carefree riding. They offer a perfect service, and I recommend them highly.
